EP 47: I Cut My Toddler's Bangs Too Short | 38 Weeks Pregnant, C-Section Prep + Life Updates
from The Thoughtful Advocate · host Elizabeth Teo
We are officially one week away from meeting our second baby and I am sharing all the life updates in this one! From my very first attempt at cutting my toddler's hair (spoiler: the bangs did not go as planned) to everything that actually happens leading up to a planned c-section that nobody really talks about: weekly OB appointments, the hospital pre-call, bloodwork, the antibacterial wash prep, and what to expect the day of. I also share a Greek yogurt crepe recipe that my toddler is obsessed with and that has become a go-to breakfast in our house, plus a free hack for getting your family into museums using your local library card. In this video: 00:00 Intro 01:20 Baby's first haircut (and why I used kitchen scissors) 04:30 38 weeks pregnant + c-section prep explained 09:00 Greek yogurt crepe recipe for toddlers 11:30 Free museum passes through your library If you've had a planned or emergency c-section, I would love to hear from you in the comments.

Greek Yogurt Crepes • 150 g unbleached all purpose flour • 25 g sugar • 1 pinch salt • 2 large eggs • 300 ml milk • 125 g plain Greek yogurt • 2.5 ml vanilla extract • 14 g unsalted butter, melted • Softened butter for cooking Do not add baking soda for crepes. It changes the texture and makes them more pancake like. Consistency Test After mixing and resting 10 to 15 minutes: The batter should: • Run off a spoon easily • Look slightly thicker than heavy cream • Coat the back of a spoon in a thin layer If it feels thick, add milk 15 ml at a time until it becomes fluid. Cooking Tip for Perfect Thin Crepes Heat pan over medium heat Lightly butter Pour about 60 ml batter Immediately swirl the pan It should spread on its own within 2 seconds. If it does not spread easily, it is too thick. #38weekspregnant #csection #plannedcsection #momvlog #toddlermom #pregnancyupdate #momlife #secondpregnancy #csectionprep #toddlerhaircut
